    I assumed this was made by a lefty to mock conservatives, but the comments have me confused. Did someone actually make this as anti-left propaganda?

      This was made by "Kelly" who is a political cartoonist for "The Onion" which is a satirical website. So it is satire.

      conservatives are liberals too, even if they hate it when we point it out to them

      I tried to explain Kelly cartoons to my dad once, the best I could come up with is that he casts his personal petty grievances into society wide problems. So there really is no unified underlying ideology. But then as another layer it's writer is (i believe) anonymous, for the onion, so its not serious anyway.

        Once I described Kelly as like if the magazine that Rorschach reads was a real thing and had a cartoon section.

        The cartoonist is Ward Sutton, who also does comics for the New Yorker. He also animated the intro to the show Strangers with Candy. He's a somewhat well known normal type political cartoonist outside of his Kelly persona.

        I regret to inform you that he's kind of a lib, but he's one I can forgive since he gave the world this face
